Home

I wander the world to find my worth

I wander to find my home

I have cried since the day of my birth

Like so, I’ve been so alone

I raised my right hand to find me

The uniform led me to you

We never had the right timing

Somehow we still made it through

Over a decade has passed

With it came children who’ve grown

I didn’t think we could last

Only God could’ve known

I thought my home was a place

A destination of peace

When I look at your face

I know I could live on the street

My home is not a location

But a feeling I get when you’re near

It changes with each iteration

It grows when I let go of fear

It’s not on your skin when we touch

It’s not on your lips when we kiss

Though I can feel it so much

I never knew home could be this

You give me a feeling of hope

I wandered and sometimes I’d hide

I didn’t know how to cope

Till I realized home was inside
